The people at the hotel were very nice however the hotel room itself was decently gross, floors not swept, mirrors were smudged, bathroom door was covered in warped and peeling paint, bathroom counters were not wiped down. It was dirty enough upon first arrival that I did a very extensive bedbug check. Breakfast was good but a couple blocks away at a different building. Internet didn’t work at all. I am frustrated that we were told we needed a $5 parking pass but were not told that it was $5 PER DAY as well as a $3 a day service charge. They were not big charges but still annoying to find out about AFTER your visit. If you are a light sleeper I would not recommend this hotel. The walls are PAPER thin I could hear everything our neighbors were doing. Also felt a little unsafe with all the homeless people camping in the surrounding area but that isn’t the hotels fault.

The hotel was very bare-bones - an upgrade to the linens and pillows would make it feel much more valuable for the price. Lots of extra fees - parking fee, pet fee, multiple charges for service fees, room fees, extra taxes. I'd rather pay more for the room base price without all the surprise fees upon checkout. No housekeeping/do-not-disturb options. All of the rooms are outdoor/accessible from the street/parking lot. We stayed on the first floow and had people congregating outside well after quiet hours. Jade at the front desk was very knowledgeable and capable and the coffee lounge was relaxing and quality.

Quirky and fun!

We love staying in funky little hotels, and this one fit the bill! The renovated bathroom was spacious, there was an elevator, and the staff was friendly. Loved the cartoons they showed on a wall at night, plus all the murals painted around. Knowing that trains rumble past, they thoughtfully supplied earplugs. Breakfast was at a restaurant a couple of blocks away, but that got us moving in the morning. I'd stay here again.

I dont want to be too hard on this place, as it was pretty clean and it was a good location. The photos are quite misleading and it is a notel not a hotel. The reason i chose it was it was a little cheaper than the davenport, it was a little closer to to the venue i was attending and the photos gave it a cool vibe. In the end for money spent, i wish i had gone the route of the other hotel, especially since it was only $15 more the day i was looking. I am ok with a motel, but, when misleading the customer, it is a rad disappointing. Room was ok. Door was tight. So im sure i pissed off neighbours when opening and closing, which took force. Decent place, but hope this helps everyone makingvan informed decision...

There was hair in the shower when we checked in and the location was very solidly okay. The bed was surprisingly comfortable for a budget stay though! Also, for being directly next to the train tracks, it wasn’t all that bad. We did have to put a towel at the base of the room door which helped with noise quite a bit. They provide ear plugs if you need those.

The morning staff was amazing. The room was adequate for what it was, but definitely could have been cleaner. Luckily the woman working the morning counter was amazing, and helped me cancel a night that I had accidentally booked through Hotels.com. She was super helpful, and I would recommend this place on her customer service alone.

Room was pretty clean but not serviced at all during our 3 day stay. The noise from the train traffic was annoying all night long but fighting in the parking lot with hours of cursing and then partiers in the parking lot the next night was over the top for noise. The desk clerk said there was patrolling going on but no one seemed to want to make any of it stop. We had 3 nights of almost no sleep.

There are train tracks right next to the hotel and it is LOUD. They provide you with foam ear plugs, but the noise is distracting. Trains rolled by starting at 7am on Sunday and kept going past 10pm. If you’re a light sleeper, this location might not be for you. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable and the location to downtown is great otherwise.
